I dont know why people would hire a captain. Kind of takes the fun out of boating.

thats exactly how i feel. i had a searay 2400 sundeck just to see if i liked boating. it was a fun boat. then i got a searay 2800 sundancer and took a few overnights but it was a little small. so i got the Tiara 3600 sovran about 5 years ago and have loved it. the build quality is amazing and its just the right size for me.
